complete verse (Hosea 10:12)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 10:12:

  • Kupsabiny: “Plant truth/justice
    so you can harvest mercy.
    Plough farms that have not been ploughed.
    These are the days when you ought to seek God for him to save you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Plant the seeds of righteousness for yourselves
    harvest the fruit of kindness
    break up the hard dirt (clumps of earth) in the field you have kept as barren land.
    For this is the time to seek the LORD,
    That He may come and pour out
    blessings of righteousness upon you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “I said to you (plur.), ‘[You (plur.)] cause- your (plur.) -heart -to-become-soft like the ground that has-been-plowed. [You (plur.)] plant righteousness and harvest love. For this (is) now a time that you (plur.) will-take-refuge in me until I will-arrive/come, and I will-send you (plur.) salvation as-if like rain.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “You plow your fields and plant your seeds and harvest your crops ,
    but what you need to do is to act righteously and to faithfully love me;
    you need to repent ,
    because it is time to try to know me, Yahweh;
    and if you do that, I will pour out many blessings on you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
